The Department of Commerce is offering the Bluefin Tuna Research Grant to support advancements in science-based fisheries management for Atlantic bluefin tuna. The grant aims to enhance the understanding of bluefin tuna fisheries and biology, particularly focusing on the mixing and movement between the eastern and western Atlantic populations. This research program is part of a collaborative effort with the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and other partners to improve the science-based management of Bluefin fisheries. Proposals demonstrating partnerships with ICCAT and other partners are strongly encouraged. The closing date for proposals is September 20, 2019.

| Description: | The objective of the program is to provide a basis for advancing science-based fisheries management for Atlantic bluefin tuna. Such advancement will depend upon improvements in understanding of the fisheries and biology of bluefin tuna, especially regarding the effects of mixing and movement between the eastern and western Atlantic populations. Contracting Parties to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), of which the US is one, and other partners have embarked upon a multi-year research program on bluefin tuna as a step toward improving ICCAT’s science-based management of Bluefin fisheries. Research sponsored under this funding opportunity represents a contribution to this partnership. Proposals that demonstrate collaborations with the ICCAT Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Research Program and other ICCAT partners are strongly encouraged. |
